I hit a tree too, but they said it was a bent shock tower, not A arm, It looks like the A arm to me though.

Boy can I answer this question. I too hit a tree (tree won). Do a search if you want more details.

A-Arm is $60.00
CV Shaft (whole thing for 4-wheel drive only) $260

A-Arm shaft if it is bent is $10.00

I would not worry about after market if it exsist.

Very easy to fix. Might consider a manual $50.00

Good Luck
KD

P-Man, I would look close at your rig, hard to believe the cast alum. tower is bent, these will almost always crack and not bend upon impact.
(been there, cracked that)

Yeah, last weekend i was riding and my friend was on the back, i have a 2000 trail blazer thats almost all stock except for holeshot xc's all around, and there was just about a half of inch of snow and we were doing about 15 mph. around a real sharp turn on the road. There is this really sharp turn and on the outside of the turn is about a 15 foot deep ditch thats really narrow, and on the other side of the ditch is all rock. I started on the inside of the turn, and it slid all the way to the outside and straight into the ditch, right when it hit i jumped and we did not get hurt,but it snaped the tierod end out of my strut, bent the heck out of my a-arm and bent the heck out of the tierod, so we have to replace the tireod, strut, and a-arm, they said that would cost for all that about 279.00 dolars plus tax, and we are putting the parts on ourself becuase labor is way to much. we could not get it out of the ditch so we started walking up the road and there was this old man he looked like he was about 80, we asked to use his phone and told him we went into a ditch, he asked where at and we went and showed him, he said lets try and pull it out, and he said he could not pull to hard because he has a heart problem, man that guy was as strong as a bull, he pretty much pulled the thing out by himself, we did not do nothing. so we went to his house and called our parents, we were getting this other kid to tow us out and right when we got my four wheeler into the trailer their car broke down. I have like the worst luck
